Shrink plastic

So I tried my hand at a new fun craft, shrink plastic. It was relly fun to work with and even though I'm not 100% happy with the results I'm still satisfied as it was my first time trying this.
I used posca markers and just drew pictures from magazines and books.
One set with a model and makeup theme and another set with a retro sewing theme.
It was really easy to make and not many accessories or tools are needed.
Setting the right temperature and timing in the oven was a bit tricky and also to make them totally flat and nice looking.
I must have looked pretty crazy "cooking" small plastic trinkets in the oven equipped with a spatula and a plate to pick them out to cool off.
I'm thinking of using the sets as small charms on bracelets.
If the pictures look a little shoddy it's because of my old cellphone cam, i really need to buy a new one soon, but that's another story :)
